John Mahama in a statement commended the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC) "for the recognition of protests as an instrument of democratic expression."
He said: "Elections can be emotive...the EC's incompetent handling of the Dec 7 poll leaves a sour taste in the mouths of all patriotic citizens."
"It is important to hold the EC accountable to ensure that it purifies itself and rises again to be the leading electoral body on our continent, Africa.
